NCR is committed to its small college heritage and will continue to run our existing small college championship pathways. Beginning in 2020, we will also add open divisions which will provide pathways for former men’s DIA, DIAA and DII and women’s DI and DII teams – from both small and large schools.

In addition, NCR has established an independent operating model and will now offer our members full insurance, a registration platform, and a competition management system.

NCR will not mandate USA Rugby membership for our players. We understand that many of our members are big fans of our national teams, and we are working with USA Rugby to provide optional membership and donation programs to support the national teams.

How will the open division work?

The open divisions will be developed in partnership with our new conferences to ensure that each team participates in an appropriate competition structure. Depending on the type and number of teams that join NCR, there may be multiple championship pathways within the men’s and women’s open divisions. For more information, please contact Brad Dufek (men) or Angela Smarto (women).

When can my team register for next season?

We are finalizing our new registration platform call SportLomo. Over the summer, we will be working with our member conferences to populate the system and distribute training materials to teams. We plan to open registration on August 1.
